Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

Year after year we have been voted Vancouver's "Best Local Blog" by readers of the Georgia Straight.

Hey, Jackson Davies, Canadian actor and co-author of the new book “Bruno and the Beach“! High five, Jackson Davies!

Jackson sent us this photo of himself relaxing at his home, offering a high five while reading a copy of the aforementioned book which you can learn all about HERE. In a nutshell it’s a fantastic look back on The Beachcombers, the iconic Canadian TV series that was filmed in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. Written by Jackson and the co-creator of the show, Marc Strange (may he rest in peace), it not only offers a bounty of behind the scenes photos but is also quite candid, pulling no punches when it comes to the real dirt that went on behind the scenes. Oh, and Michael J Fox wrote the foreword!
